About the Show

Three high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.

Shifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation, intergenerational conflict, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. CHINESE REPULBICANS is a new play from a thrilling new American voice, and tells a truly American story.

The Steinberg Center for Theatre, inaugurated in March 2004, featured Lynn Nottage’s Intimate Apparel as its debut, starring Viola Davis and directed by Dan Sullivan. Beyond the Laura Pels Theatre, the center expanded to encompass the Black Box Theatre and a new education facility. This off-Broadway venue embodies Roundabout’s dedication to original and revived works. It was made possible by The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust, established in 1986 by Harold Steinberg to support American Theatre. The Trust has granted over $70 million to 125+ theatre groups nationwide. Among the amenities, the Yegen and Donnalley Lounge caters to Chairman’s Circle members, while the Bruce Mitchell Lobby offers an open meeting space.
